Outstanding Contribution to the Industry Award

Each year the NZSEA committee recognises an individual who has contributed significantly to the spatial sector throughout their career. This may include furthering the reach of the sector; driving the capabilities needed to support and grow the sector overall; or providing leadership in key areas. The committee may select the winner of this award without an entry to the open awards categories.
